When Karen Rooze was growing up, her family gathered weekly for dinners hosted by her grandparents at their Little Canada truck farm. Her grandmother filled the table with home-grown bounty, and attendance was mandatory.

"She kept us together with good pasta every Sunday. You had to be on your deathbed or out of town to miss the Sunday dinner," said Rooze, who lives in Vadnais Heights.
